    I really enjoyed this story.
    I'm not familiar with the cultural background of the characters, as I've grown up and am living in the Central European Culture myself, but the author managed easily to convey to me the implications of he cultural background of the characters, and how it influences their lives and this story. For such a short story this is no small feat IMHO.
    I found both characters very believable and real and really enjoyed their interaction and how they came together, and came into themselves with each other's help.

    This is a short story and simply due to its length, developing characters or much of a plot beyond the 'bad horoscope so pushed into a marriage' is probably expecting too much.

    Still, the characters, for their brief appearances, are likeable and unique. The plot is as well-developed as it can be given the circumstances.

    All in all, an enjoyable read.

    Particularly for free.
